Space to pause and reflect

Swimming and walking in nature can both be transformative experiences, helping us to pause and reflect on parts of our lives that are overwhelming or limiting – the ideal opportunity, then, for a life coaching session. Jo Tinsley meets life coach and wild swim coach Tara Kelsall for a chat and a dip

“I’ve often heard wild swimmers say ‘If only I could bottle this amazing feeling’.
